ANSTO'S National Science Week Hackathon 2024
Year 12 Physics Online Learning
Participate in live radiation demonstrations, cover syllabus content and visit ANSTO virtually during our online depth study classes for Year 12 Physics.
- Participate in live demonstrations to review the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
- Learn about radioactive decay, half-life and methods of detecting radiation, including with a cloud chamber.
- Define and understand applications of fission, fusion, binding energy and mass defect, and investigate the structure and function of the OPAL multipurpose reactor.
- Investigate the role and operation of particle accelerators at ANSTO.
Cost: $90 per class.
Running (simulated) rings around cancer
Ultra-realistic simulations of a PET imaging system for next-generation radiotherapy: Collaboration giving back to the open source science community.
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.
Stable production of hydrogen from seawater
Efficient electro-catalysis of hydrogen from seawater represents a low-cost, abundant source of clean energy.
Instrument Calibration
ANSTO offers reliable and traceable calibration services for radiation survey meters, contamination monitors and electronic personal dosimeters.
Earthquake clues unearthed in strange, precariously balanced rocks
Imperial College London researchers tapped into ancient geological data locked within precariously balanced rocks using a new technique to boost the precision of hazard estimates for large earthquakes.
Understanding organic solar cells
The design and implementation of alternative energy sources is one of the greatest scientific and social challenges of our time.
ANSTO researchers support study into conversion of waste heat into potential new energy source
Nuclear techniques will be crucial tools in the development of advanced materials that sustainably convert waste heat into useful forms of energy to benefit Australia.
